I need more...Where to start?!

Well, other than Trip Advisor, of course.

I%26#39;m planning a Ladies Trip to NYC in November/December for my Mom%26#39;s 60th birthday. There will be about 5-6 of us. None of us have been to NYC before.

Where is a good place to research what shows are playing, things to do, etc.

There are some great tips on here obviously, but I%26#39;m hoping for more info where I can punch in some dates, and some options will ';magically'; appear.

Thanks!

I need more...Where to start?!

Welcome to the forum. You%26#39;ll have a great time!

At the top of this forum is a FAQ ';sticky'; which includes threads and links on the most popular questions, including ';must see'; sights, how to use the subway, crime myths, how to buy discount B%26#39;way show tix, etc.

There%26#39;s also a thread called ';helpful websites'; that lists websites for events, food, etc.

At the bottom of the FAQ are collections of trip reports, including those by adult family members. Most were first-timers.

Just to name a few of my faves from the FAQ, I like:

www.newyorkled.com

www.newyorkology.com

www.mustseenewyork.com

You can also find good 1, 2, 3 day and 7 day sample itineraries on fodors.com and fromemrs.com (or in traditional book form.)

You%26#39;ve picked an expensive time to visit. Try discount hotel sites like

www.travelzoo.com

www.kayak.com

www.quickbook.com

When you start posting questions, please BE SPECIFIC!! Vague questions get vague answers. Instead of saying ';moderately priced,'; state an actual value.

Have fun!

Oops, I forgot to mention that another great ';sticky'; at the top of this forum is BrooklynMel%26#39;s ';How to Use this Forum.';
